Beatriz CarrascoJuly 19, 2026 Comparamos varias agencias antes de elegir esta excursión y no nos arrepentimos. Nuestro guía hablaba un inglés excelente y explicaba la historia sin abrumarnos. Los paisajes y los templos impresionan aún más que en las fotos. Lo volvería a reservar sin dudarlo.
Antoine BeauchampJuly 14, 2026 Cette excursion était simple à réserver et encore mieux sur place que dans la description. Les horaires étaient pensés pour arriver sur les sites avant les groupes. Notre guide parlait un très bon anglais et expliquait l'histoire sans nous noyer de détails. Bien organisé du début à la fin.
Silvia CavalieriMay 7, 2026 Ho viaggiato da solo durante questa escursione e non mi sono mai sentito fuori posto. Il pranzo era abbondante, preparato al momento, e hanno gestito le nostre richieste senza problemi. Il mezzo era pulito, climatizzato e comodo anche nei tratti più lunghi. Consigliatissimo, soprattutto se avete pochi giorni in Egitto.
Freya AshcroftApril 9, 2026 Our family joined the Cairo Stopover Tour and everyone, kids included, stayed interested the whole time. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. A day we will be talking about for a long time.
Andrea D’AmicoApril 8, 2026 Ho viaggiato da solo durante questa escursione e non mi sono mai sentito fuori posto. Il mezzo era pulito, climatizzato e comodo anche nei tratti più lunghi. Tutto lo staff è stato caloroso e attento, senza alcuna insistenza commerciale. Se siete indecisi, prenotate.
Tommaso BonucciFebruary 15, 2026 La nostra famiglia ha partecipato a questa escursione e anche i bambini sono rimasti coinvolti. Per quello che abbiamo pagato, il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccellente. I paesaggi e i templi sono ancora più impressionanti che nelle foto. Consigliatissimo, soprattutto se avete pochi giorni in Egitto.

Роман ЧеркасовJanuary 20, 2026 Мы забронировали эту экскурсию и это стало главным впечатлением нашей поездки в Египет. Забрали нас точно в назначенное время, водитель ехал спокойно и аккуратно. Виды и храмы впечатляют даже сильнее, чем на фотографиях. Забронировал бы снова без колебаний.
Tobias PfeifferDecember 25, 2025 Dieser Ausflug war einfach zu buchen und vor Ort noch besser als online beschrieben. Für diesen Preis war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend. Die Abholung war pünktlich auf die Minute und der Fahrer fuhr ruhig und sicher. Wenn ihr überlegt: einfach buchen.
Fabien OllivierDecember 5, 2025 Cette excursion était simple à réserver et encore mieux sur place que dans la description. Les horaires étaient pensés pour arriver sur les sites avant les groupes.

Céline NoguèsDecember 1, 2025 Nous avons réservé cette excursion et ce fut le point fort de notre séjour en Égypte. Notre guide parlait un très bon anglais et expliquait l'histoire sans nous noyer de détails. Toute l'équipe était chaleureuse et attentionnée, sans aucune pression commerciale. L'une des plus belles journées de nos vacances.
Katharina EhrhardtDecember 1, 2025 Ich habe diesen Ausflug mit meiner Frau gemacht und wir sind beide sehr froh über diese Wahl. Für diesen Preis war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend.

Ignacio RivasNovember 10, 2025 Nuestra familia hizo esta excursión y hasta los niños estuvieron atentos todo el tiempo. Los horarios estaban pensados para llegar a los monumentos antes que los grupos. La comida era abundante, recién preparada, y atendieron nuestras peticiones sin problema. Un día del que hablaremos mucho tiempo.
Jakub NedvědNovember 7, 2025 Cestovala jsem sama na tomto výletu a ani na chvíli jsem se necítila nepatřičně. Celý tým byl vřelý a pozorný, bez jakéhokoli tlaku na nákupy. Za tuto cenu je to skvělá hodnota. Dobře zorganizované od začátku do konce.
Leo AshcroftOctober 28, 2025 I did the Cairo Stopover Tour with my wife and we are both really glad we picked this one. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. If you are weighing this one up, just book it.
Thijs DoornbosOctober 13, 2025 Deze excursie was eenvoudig te boeken en in het echt nog beter dan de beschrijving. Onze gids sprak uitstekend Engels en legde de geschiedenis helder uit. Het landschap en de tempels zijn nog indrukwekkender dan op de foto's. Een dag waar we nog lang over napraten.
